Expert provides Antenna Consulting resources for a wide range of topics. Expert provides services for the theoretical analysis, design, development, fabrication, testing, validation, and optimization of RF, Microwave, Millimeter-Wave, or Terahertz Antennas. His experience allows him to review both your performance specifications and size constraints for the antenna subsystem, from which Expert can make recommendations for one or more hardware configurations to satisfy these requirements. Expert can also review proprietary performance specifications, size constraints, and proposed hardware configurations to determine if these concepts are suitable for the intended application, or determine if the design concepts must be modified to satisfy the stated requirements. Performance and physical limitations for design concepts will be documented during the review process, and modifications to the design concept will be documented to illustrate how the design concepts must be adapted to satisfy the performance and size limitations. If some portion of the performance or size specification is found to be physically impossible to achieve, then these problem areas will be revealed along with recommendations to circumvent these barriers to achieving the requisite performance.

This is made possible using analytical principles to evaluate fundamental design concepts, which are further supported by comprehensive simulations using the newFASAT Software Suite. newFASANT is built upon antenna analysis algorithms employing Geometrical Optics (GO), Physical Optics (PO), Uniform Theory of Diffraction, Moment Method (MM), and FMLMP (Fast Multilevel Multipole) solvers to provide precision predictions of performance that are based upon the physical configuration of the antenna and material properties used for the simulations. These techniques are employed for single element antennas, antenna arrays, radomes with antennas, and analysis of propagation for an antenna in one or more user-defined environments.

It is important for each client to realize that the accuracy of CEM simulations is dependent upon the frequency and temperature-dependent material properties (conductivity, permittivity, permeability,…) of the metals and dielectrics used for fabricating their circuits, so these material properties must be measured so they can be included in the CEM simulations. Laboratory and contract resources are available to determine these material properties, which are essential for providing accurate CEM simulations of circuits and systems. Dr. Besti can provide each client with the capability to only use valid material properties for their CEM simulations.

In conclusion, please submit your inquiry for an Antenna Consulting project to Expert, and notify him if a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required to protect your Intellectual Property (IP) or Proprietary Data (PD). Expert will provide an NDA for review, negotiation, and amendment by the client to safeguard and protect their IP and PD. Expert will provide a budgetary quotation and schedule for performing the client-defined Antenna Consulting effort after reviewing the performance and size requirements. Work on the project will commence when a contract has been negotiated and legally executed by Expert and the client.
